War  Def>artment  for  barracks,  posts,  ♦cantonments,  or  other  military 
u^es,  will  be  collected,  recorded  and  filed  in  the  o^ce  of  th&  Quarter- 
master General  of  the  army.

210.  Military  commanders  charged  with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  with  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  fur  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangemeiits  are 
made  in  them  fur  the  health  and  comfort  of  the  troopi^. 

211.  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  competent  and 
experienced  persons. 

212.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be  assigned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicalje,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same' manner,  to  contiguous  berths. 

213.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  no  racks,  as  ty  be  eacure  from

its  safety  and  good  condition. 

215.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  bosird. 

2IG.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  re- 
quired. At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with  side-arms  only.  The  of- 
liccr  of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day. 

217.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  fires,  with  buckets  of  water  at 
hand,  promptly  to  extinguish  fires.  Smoking  is  prohibited  bettceen 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  at  all  times  ;  nor  shall  any  lights  bv?  allowed  be- 
tween decks,  except  suoh  ship  lanterns  as  the  master  of  the  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution  of 
his  duty. 

218.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
ooukin  turn  ;  no  others  than  those  whoso  turn  it  is  will  ba  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  otiier  cooking  places. 

219.  The  comuiandiug  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  thw  master  of  the  vessel,  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that 
in  case  of  alarm,  by  htorm,  or  lire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 
man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station,  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck..  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the 
sailors,  and  those- who  cannot  be  advautageouslj*^  employed  with  small 
arms,  will  he  formed  as  u  reserve  between  decks. 

220.  -Ul  Ih'o  troops   will  turn   out  at —  A.  M.,  without  arms  or 

uniform.^,  and  (in  warm  weather)  without  shoes  or  stockings;  when 
every  indindual  will  be  clean,  his  handn,  face  and  feet  washed,  and  hi*S 
hair  combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty 
minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  be  exempted  from  one  of 
the.se  inspection  per  day,  if  necessary. 

221.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
permit. 

222.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanlinoss  nn  indispensable  to  health. 
"When  the  weather  will  permit,  l>edding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every 
morning  for  airing.  Tubs  may  be  fixed  on  tho  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men  may  be  placed  in  tlie  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water 
thrown  over  them, 

223.  Between  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week,  and 
only  wlien  the  weather  is  fine.  The  boards  of  tho  lower  berths  will  be 
removed  onco  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  tiic  day,  frequent  fumigations  will 
be  performed  betv»'een  ^eoks.  The  material  required  are — common 
salt  four  ounces ;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  ounce;  sulphuric 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  is 
poured*over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath, 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chjoride  of  ainc  are  excellent  disia^ 
lecting  agents.

224.  During  voyages-in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  "will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind  sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hungup, 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  diuw  well,  and  are  not  ob- 
Btructed. 

225.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and 
other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  before 
and  after  use. 

226.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hour  when  there  if^  a  prospect  of  bad  weather  ;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  insure  the  execution  of 
this  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  day  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a  tour 
between  decks. 

227.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  officer  of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  The  (fficers'  lights  will  be  cxtinguislied  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

228.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called 
to  quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be 
frequently  exercised  in  the  ugc  of  them.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metallic  parts  of  the  former  will  be 
often  wiped  and  greased  again. 

229.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun  ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  .succession,  when  necessary. 

230.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  surgeon  will  examine  the 
•  men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease, 

231.  The  sick  will,  as  far  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the 
healthy  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  asignal 
will  be  nmde  for  the  hospitnl  vessel,  (it  there  be  one  in  compiiny,)  and 
the  diseased  men  removed  to  her. 

232.  A  good  supply  of  hospital  stores  and  medicines  will  be  taken 
on  each  vessel,  nnd  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent;. 

233.  The  surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hot  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indij^,  to  the 
Southern  coast  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
latitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  auvl  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages, 
a^e  prejudicial. 

234.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe  ;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

235.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the  transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  fur  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast  straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind  sails,  &c.  The  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engine  for  that  purpose. 

236.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise  or  when 
heated.  In  hoipting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  ^t  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 


104  quartermaster's  department. 

that  it  may  be  "well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  shouid  be 
run  uii  quickly,  to  prevent  him  from  plunfjing;,  and  should  be  steadied 
by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  un  him  before  he  is  lifted"^rom  the 
ground. 

237.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  overfed  ; 
bran  should  form  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours,  and,  occasionally, 
the  mangers  sliould  le  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horses  sponged 
with  vinegar  and  water. 

2e»S,  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the 
cargo  of  each  should  bo  composed  of  an  assortment  of  such  stores  as 
♦  may  be  available  for  service  in  case  of  the  non-arrival  of  others,  and 
they  shiailu  be  placed  on  board  in  such  a  manner  that  they  mswy  be 
easily  reached,  in  the  order  in  which  they  are  required  fur  service. 
Each  stnre-ship  should  be  marked,  at  the  bow  and  stern,  on  both  sides, 
in  large  characters,  with  a  distinctive  letter  and  number.  A  list  is  to 
be  made  of  the  stores  on  board  of  each  ves-sel,  and  of  the  place  where 
they  arc  to  be  found  in  it:  a  copy,  of  this  list  to  be  se.nt  to  the  chief 
officer  of  the  proper  department  in  the  expedition,  or  at  the  place  of  des- 
tination. 

BATTLES. 

239.  Before  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  mtikes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded.  , 

240.  The  ambulance  depot  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di-- 
rected  for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  established  afc  the  most 
convenient  building  nearest  the  field  of  battle.     A  red  fiag  marks  its 
place,  or  the  way  to  it,  to  the  conductors  of  the  ambulances  and  to  the 
wounded  who  can  walk. 

241.  The  active  ambulancos  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  succor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tor should  ahvays  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  n6|fcxcuse  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

242.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
Quartermaster-General,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances.  He 
will  send  otficers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  the  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  re- 
moved from  the  ground.  He  will  sec  that  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necessary  apparatus,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depots. 

243.  If  the  enemy  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the 
orders  of  the  Genenil  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

244.  The  wounded  ir  the  depots,  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  tho  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter-General of  the  army  on  the  Hanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

245.  zifter  an  action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the^General^ 


quartermaster's  department.       .105 

The  Quartarmaster's  Department  coUects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured,  and  make  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

BAGGAGE    TRAINS. 

246.  The  hoggage  train -of  general  headquarters  and  the  trains  of  tho 
several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an  officer' of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department.  These  officers  command  and  conduct  the  trains 
under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headquarters.  AVheu 
the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a  division 
marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior  Quartermas- 
ter directs  the  whole. 

247.  The  Assistant  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wngons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  all  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  and  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  park  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Assistant  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necessary  wagon- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
tho  several  trains. 

24S.  None  but  the  authDri/.cd  wngons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  headquarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  headquarters  io 
march  with  the  train,  arc  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

249.  When  the  train  of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed, as  far  as  practicable,  by  convalescents  and  men  not  effective  in   the 

•ranks  ;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismounted  men.  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  the  escort  for' its  defence,  the  regulations  in  regard  to  convoys  and 
escorts  take  effect. 

250.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvouH.  When  otherwise,  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  the  divisions,  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  the 
necessary  directions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of%the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Trains  are  not  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of 
the  tro()p«,  or  to  impede  the  march  of  the  troops. 

251.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the 
teamsters  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  proporly  con- 
duct them  ;  or  who  illtrca'.  their  burses,  or  who  attempt  to  ]iilage,  or 
run  away  in  case  of  attack. 

252.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  tho  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  tho 
rcgulathjns  respecting  transportation   allowances  are  strictly  observci.

QUARTEhMASTER^S    DEPARTMENT.  107 


COMMAND. 

254.  Officers  of  tho  Quartermasters  or  Subsistence  Departments, 
though  eligible  to  command  according  to  the  rank  they  hold  in  the 
army  of  the  Confederate  States,  not  subject  to  the  prders  of  a  junior 
oflBcer,  shall  not  assume  the  command  of  troops  unless  |Tut  on  duty 
under  orders  which  special!/ so  direct  by  authority  of  the  President 

255.  During  the  absence  of  the  Quartermaster-General,  or  the  Chief 
of  any  Military  Bureau  of  the  War  Department-,  his  duties  in  the  bureau 
prescribed  by  law  or  regulations,  devolve  on  the  officer  of  his  depart- 
ment empowered  by  the  Piesident  to  perform  them,  in  such  absence. 

REGIMENTS. 

256.  The  commander  of  a  regiment  will  appoint  the  adjutant  from 
the  subalterns  of  the  regiment.  He  will  nominate  the  regimental  quar- 
termaster to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  appointment,  if  approved.  He 
•will  appoint  the  non-commissioned  staff  of  the  regiment;  and,  upon  tho 
recommendation  of  the  company  commander,  the  sergeants  aud  corpo- 
rals of  companies. 

CAMPS. 

257.  When  the  General  can  send  in  advance  to  prepare  the  camp,  ho 
gives  his  instructions  to  the  chief  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department, 
who  calls  on  the  regiments  for  their  camping- parties,  and  is  accompa-* 
nied,  if  necessary,  by  an  Engineer,^to  propose  the  defences  and  commu- 
nications. 

258.  The  watering-places  are  examined,  and  signals  placed  at  those 
that  are  dangerous.  Any  work  required  to  make  them  of  easier  access 
is  done  by  the  police  guard  or  Quartermaster's  men.  Sentinels,  to  be 
relieved  by  the  guards  of  tbe  regiment  when  they  come  up,  are  placed 
by  the  camping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  housea

NOTICE. 


To  avoid  unnecessary  correspondence  with  officers  of  this  de- 
partment, respecting'  details  connected  with  the  discharge  of  their 
duties,  attention  is  called  to  the  following  Appendix.  It  contains 
extracts  relative  to  the  Quartermaster's  department,  from  General 
Orders  for  the  year  1862,  i.«sued  by  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector 
General,  and  abstracts  of  certain  laws  and  official  decisions,  illus- 
trating the  duties  of  the  officers  thereof. 

A  circular  will  be  issued  hereafter  from  this  office,  quarterly, 
embodying  similar  contents,  so  as  to  give  quartermasters  the  ear- 
liest access  to  recent  orders,  legislation  and  decisions  governing 
the  departraeot. 


APPENDIX. 


TRANSPORTATION,  COMMUTATION  THEREOF,  AND  MI  LE  AGE. 

[General  Orders,  No.  1,  .Tanimry  1,  1862. 

Sec.  2.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  that  furhiUghs,  not  exceeding  sixty 
days,  with  iransportation  home  and  back,  ehall  be  granted  to  all  twelve 
months  men  now  in  Bervice,  who  shall,  prior  to  the  expiration  of  their 
present  terra  of  service,  volunteer  or  enlist  for  the  next  two  ensuing 
years  subsequent  to  the  expiration  of  their  present  term  of  service,  or 
for  three  years,  or  the  war.  Said  furloughs  to  be  issued  at  such  times 
and  in  such  numbers  as  the  Secretary  of  War  may  deem  most  compati- 
ble with  the  public  interest — the  length  of  each  furlough  being  regu- 
lated with  reference  to  the  distance  of  each  volunteer  frcm  his  home: 
provided,  that  in  lieu  of  a  furlough,  the  commutation  value  in  money, 
of  the  transportation  herein  above  granted,  shall  be  paid  t3  each  pri- 
vate, musician  or  non-commissioned  officer  who  may  elect  to  receive  it, 
at  such  time  as  the  furlough  itself  would  otherwise  be  granted.  (Act 
Deo.  11.  1861.) 

Sec.  3.  This  act  ehall  apply  to  all  troops  who  have  volunteered  or  en- 
listed for  a  term  of  twelve  months  or  more,  in  the  service  of  any  State, 
who  are  now  in  the  service  of  the  said  State,  and  who  may  hereafter 
volunteer  or  enlist  in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  under  the 
proviwons  of  the  present  act.     (Act  Dec.  11,  18G1.) 

X.  Each  man  entitled  to  furlough  may  receive  instead  thereof  the 
commutation  value  of  his  transportation,  in  addition  to  the  bounty  of 
fifty  dollars  provided  by  law. 

General  Orders,  No.  82,  November  3,  1862, 

Provided  further,  that  furloughs  not  exceeding  sixty  days,  with  trans- 
portation home  and  back,  shall  be  granted  to  all  those  retained  in  the  ser- 
vice by  tho  provisions  of  this  act,  beyound  the  period  of  their  original 
enlistment,  and  who  have  not  heretofore  received  furloughs  under  the 
provisions  of  an  act  entitled  **  an  act  providing  for  the  granting  of 
bounty  and  furloughs  to  privates  and  non-commissioned  officers  in  the 
Provisional  Army,"  approved  11th  December,  eighteen  hundred  and 
sixty-one  ;  said  furloughs  to  be  granted  at  such  times  and  in  such  num- 
bers as  the  Secretary  of  War  may  deem  most  compatible  with  the  pub- 
lic interest :  and  provided  further,  that  in  lieu  of  a  furlough,  the  com- 
mutation value  in  money  of  the  transportation  herein  above  granted, 
ehall  be  paid  to  each  private,  musician  or  non-commissioned  officer  who 
may  elect  to  receive  it,  at  such  time  as  the  furlough  would  otherwise  be 
granted.     (Act  April  16,  1862,  ^  1.) 

The  act  of  February  7,  1863,  enacts  "  that  non-commissioned  officers 
and  privates,  who  have  been  mustered  into  the  service  for  the  war,  and 
to  whom  furloughs  jnay  be  granted  for  not  more  than  sixty  days,  shall 


THANSrORlUTlON;     COMMtfTATlON;    4.C.  125 

be  entitled  to  transportntion  home  and  back  :  provided,  that  this  allow- 
aiice  shall  only  be  made  once  during  the  term  ,of  enlistment  of  such 
non-commissioned  oflicera  aud  privates/' 

Note. — The  act  of  December  1 1,  1861,  was  in  force,  and  governed  cases 
of  re-enli-itment  until  April  16,  1802,  when  so  much  thereof  as  related  to 
re-enlistments  was  repealed.  It?  provisions  in  re.iptict  to  transportation 
and  commutation  thereof  were  renewed  by  the  act  of  April  16,  IS62,  in 
favor  of  those  retained  in  service.  As  to  those  retained  in  Bervire,  see 
note  to  General  Orders,  No.  30,  bead  "Bounty." 

NoTK. — The  re-enlistment  act  and  the  coii^cripiion  act  secured  the  fur- 
lough as  a  rifiht.  The  act  of  February  7,  18G3,  which  provides  for  a  class 
not  within  either  of  rlie  previous  acts,  secures  only  transportation  to  such 
as  may  receive  the  fuilou{j;h,  and  in  no  event  commutation.  Transporta- 
tion can  be  furnished  to  a  furloujrhed  soldier,  upon  the  certificato  of  the 
commanding  officer  of  the  company  to  which  he  belonge,  countersigned 
by  the  commanding  officer  of  the  regiment,  when  it  is  practicable  to  ob- 
tain his  sif^natnre,  that  ihe  soldier  has  never  received,  on  a  jirevious  fur- 
lough, transportation  to  his  home,  nor  the  commutation  value  thereof.

and  back,  estiinating  railroad  travel  at  two  cents  a  mile  and  etage  and 
steamboat  travel  at  the  usual  rates.

RATES    OF    RAILROAD    TRANSPORTATION. 
MEMO,    or    MONTGOMERY     RATES. 

April  26th,  18G1. 

Resolved,  that  the  several  railroad  companies  represented  in  this  con- 
vention, will  transport  troops  and  munitions  upon  the  plan  indicated  by 
the  Quartermaster  General,  at  the  following  rates,  viz  :  Men,  two  cents 
per  mile;  munitions,  provisions  and  materials  at  half  the  regular  local 
rates. 

Resolved,  that  the  companies  represented  in  this  convention  will  re- 
ceive in  payment  for  the  transportation  of  troops,  munitions  and  pro- 
visions, over  the  several  roads,  at  par,  the  bonds  or  Treasury  notes  of 
the  Confederate  States,  whenever  it  is  deemed  necessary,  in  the  opinion 
of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  to  make  pa3'ments  in  that  manner. 

Resolved,  that  the  two  foregoing  resolutions  in  relation  to  the  trans- 
portation of  men,  provisions  and  munitions,  take  effect  on  the  first  day

MEMO.  OF   RICHMOND    RATES. 

July  19,  1861. 

At  this  convention,  composed  of  the  railroad  companies  of  the  State 
of  Virginia,  the  above  resolutions  of  the  Montgomery  convention  wero 
adopted,  to  take  effect  July  1,  1861,  with  the  following  exception  : 

Resolved,  that  this  convention  think  it  just  to  make  an  exception 
from  the  terms  specified  in  the  foregoing  resolutions,  in  the  cases  of  the 
Richmond  and  Petersburg  railroad  company,  and  the  Norfolk  and  Pe- 
tersburg railroad  company,  for  the  reason  in  the  former  case,  that  the 
length  of  the  road  is  only  twenty-two  and  a  half  miles,  and  in  the  lat- 
ter case,  that  the4local  rates,  for  special  reasons,  are  unusually  low. 

Resolved,  that  in  order  to  meet  the  exceptional  cases  above  mention- 
ed, the  convention  think  it  would  be  just  that  the  rate  on  the  Richmond 
and  Petersburg  railroad  shonld  be  2\  cents  per  mile  on  troops,  and  the 
rates  on  the  Norfolk  and  Petersburg  railroad  should  be  adjusted  on  the 
basis  of  the  local  rates  of  the  Seaboard  and  Roanoke  railroad,  which  is 
of  equal  length,  and  runs  through  a  similar  country. 

The  convention  also  "  Resolved,  that  this  convention  pledges  each 
company  represented,  that  they  Avill  give  the  precedence  to  troops  and 
munitions  of  war  over  all  other  transportation  in  the  right  to  their  track, 
and  thot  whenever  necessary  they  will  stop  the  transportation  of  ordi- 
nary freight  and  of  the  mail  and  passengers." 

Richmond,  Dec,  13,  1861. 

Sir  : — I  desire  to  effect  with  the  various  railroad  companies  in 
the  Confederate  States  a  clear  understanding  in  respect  to  the  transpor- 
tation of  government  supplies,  and  to  secure,  if  practicable,  uniformity 


132  CIRCULAR 

of  charges  among  them.  To  that  end,  I  invite  your  attention  to  the 
following  proposition,  with  the  request  that  you  will  communicate  your 
acceptance,  or  other  action  thereon,  at  as  early  a  day  as  practicable. 

I  propose  tiiat  the  government  shall  pay  the  railroad  companies  the 
rates  established  by  the  Chattanooga  convention,  held  on  the  4th  of  Oc- 
tober last — the  companies  in  turn  obligating  themselves  to  abide  by 
these  rates,  and  to  be  held  to  strict  accountability  fur  any  damage  to,  or 
loss  of  freight — subject  to  the  usual  exceptions. 

The  accounts  of  all  companies  that  accept  this  proposition  will  bead- 
justed  according  to  the  rates  referred  to,  from  November  1,  1861. 

This  offer  I  leel  satisfied  is  liberal — enough  so  to  compensate  compa- 
nies for  the  unusual  wear  and  tare  in  their  rolling  stock,  and  to  induce 
its  acceptance  on  their  part. 

A.  C.  Myers,  Q.  M.  General.

Richmond,  Fa.,  Sept.  12,  1862. 

I  hereby  approve  and  accept  the  tariff  for  government  transportation, 
adopted  by  the  railroad  convention  held  at  Columbia,  South  Carolina, 
on  the  4th  September,  1862,  as  follows : 

Transportation  of  Troops  and  other  persons  on  public  service. 

The  rate  of  two  cents  per  mile  per  man  for  the  transportation  of 
troops  is  to  be  adhered  to  on  the  main  or  thoroughfare  roads,  and  the 
rate  to  be  increased  to  three  cents  per  mile  ou  the  side  lines,  not  tho- 
roughfares. (The  words  "  side  lines,  not  thoroughfares,"  include  only 
such  branch  or  independent  roads  as  do  not  connect  at  one  end  with 
either  a  railroad,  a  navigable  river  or  a  densely  settled  place,  and  are  ' 
not  main  or  thoroughfare  roads.) 

Transportation  of  Government  Freight  hy  Freight  Trains, 

These  rates  are  indcntical  with  those  adopted  by  the  railroad  conven- 
tion held  at  Chattanooga  on  the  4th  October,  1861,  and  are  as  follows: 

First  Class'. — Percussion  caps,  powder  and  fixed  ammunition,  45 
cents  per  100  lbs,  per  100  miles. 

Socond  Class.  -  AU  the  freights  shipped  for  the  Government,  except 


CIRCULAR.  133 

live  stock,  hay,  bran,  and  the  articles  enumerated  in  first  class,  at  20 
cents  per  100  lbs.  per  100  miles. 

Third  Class. — Live  stock,  per  car  load,  $20  per  car  per  100  miles. 

Fourth  Class. — Hay  and  bran,  per  carload,  $15  per  car  per  100 miles. 

For  less  than  a  car  load  of  live  stock,  the  local  rates  of  each  road 
to  be  charged. 

The  labor  and  expense  of  loading  and  unloading,  and  the  detention 
of  cars  for  the  same,  being  as  much  for  short  as  for  long  distances,  less 
than  100  miles  should  be  charged  as  100  miles. 

Freight  by  Passenger  Trains. 

Government  freight  ordered  and  carried  by  passenger  trains,  to  bo 
iifty  per  cent,  higher  than  that  carried  by  freight  trains. 

Through  tickets  to  be  furnished  to  wounded  officers  or  soldiers  and 
discharged  men,  at  the  above  rates. 

Fortlie  carriage  of  bodies  of  men  killed  in  battle,  or  who  die  in  the 
service,  each  railroad  shall  adopt  its  own  regulations. 

These  rates  to  go  into  operation  on  the  Ist  October,  1862. 

A.  C.  Myers,  Q.  M.  General. 

GENERAL  RULES  AS  TO  THE  TRANSACTION  OF  BUSINESS  AND  SETTLEMENT 
OF  TRANSPORTATION  ACCOUNTS,  AS  AGREED  UPON  AT  THE  OFFICE  OF  THE 
QUARTEKMA8TER  GENERAL,  THE  COMPTROLLER,  AND  THE  SECOND  AUDITOR. 

1.  The  presumption,  as  a  general  rule,  is  in  favor  of  the  voucher. 

2.  All  persons  entitled  to  transportation  under  the  Quartermaster 
General's  published  rules,  and  really  transported,  should  be  paid  for, 
whether  the  voucher  presented  consists  of  a  quartermaster's  order,  the 
order  of  some  other  officer,  or  the  certificate  of  the  person  transported. 

3.  Such  orders  or  certificates  as  express,  or  fairly  admit  of  the  infe- 
rence that  the  service  is  to  a  soldier  on  sick  furlough,  under  orders,  or 
on  public  business,  are  to  be  deemed  good. 

4.  An  informal  order,  or  certificate  of  transportation,  whether  in- 
formal in  the  body  or  as  to  signature,  if  it  show  the  right  to  pass,  and 
that  the  person  has  passed,  is  sufficient. 

5.  An  order  for,  or  certificate  of  the  passage  of  troops,  carries  with 
it  all  necessary  baggage,  horses,  &c.,  whether  oxpressed  or  not. 

6.  Nurses  and  laundresses  to  be  passed,  when  it  is  expressed,  or  can 
be  reasonably  supposed  that  they  are  such. 

7.  Negro  laborers  on  military  works,  messengers  and  negroes  in 
charge  of  public  property,  such  as  horses,  wagons,  &c.,  and  ns  attend- 
ants of  sick  officers  or  soldiers,  or  the  corpses  of  such,  are  entitled  to 
pass,  under  orders  of  authorized  officers,  or  other  satisfactory  ovidenca 
of  transportation. 

8.  Any  paper,  however  informal,  and  whether  an  order  for  or  a  cer- 
tificate of  transportatiim,  that  satisfactorily  evidences  the  transportation 
of  persons  or  of  freight,  entitled  to  pass  under  the  Quartermaster  Gen- 
eral's published  rules,  to  be  regarded  as  a  good  voucher. 

9.  Where  the  service  rendered  is  manifestly  for  the  Confederate  States, 
even  though  the  voucher  express  that  it  is  f(  r  a  State,  or  to  be  charged 
to  a  State,  such  service  should  be  paid  for  by  the  Confederate  States. 

10.  When  imperfect  vouchers  can  be  perfected  by  aflBdavit,  snch  affi- 
davit tube  made  and  filed  with  the  account. 


184  CIRCULAR. 

11.  An  account  vrhich  is  unsupported  by  vouchers,  or  the  vouchers 
for  which  have  been  lost,  or  otherwise  destroyed,  may  be  made  good  by 
an  affidavit  to  the  fiicts,  and  to  the  rendition  of  the  service  charged  for. 

12.  The  receipts  of  government  officers  for  freight,  and  the  receipts 
of  the  agents  of  connecting  roads,  shall  be  sufficient  vouchers. 

13.  All  persons  authorized  to  ask  transportation  of  a  quartermaster, 
either  for  themselves,  or  for  freights,  may  give  certificates  of  service 
when  such  orders  cannot  bo  procured  without  injurious  delay — and  such 
certificates  shall  be  good  vouchers. 

14.  The  original  order  on  v^'hich  coupons  are  issued  should  accompany 
the  first  coupon. 

15.  The  presentation  of  an  order  for  transportation  by  a  railroad 
company  is  prima  facie  evidence  of  tho  service  ;  but  the  endorsement 
of  the  person  passing,  completes  and  perfecte  the  voucher. 

16.  Inasmuch  as  in  the  beginning  of  the  war  there  were  but  few  rules 
and  no  settled  system  as  to  transportation,  a  liberal  discretion  should 
be  exercised  in  regard  to  vouchers  for  such  transportation.  Restrictive 
rules  adopted  now  or  hereafter,  should  not  be  applied  to  such  settle- 
ments. 

REPORTS  OF  FIELD  TRANSPORTATION. 

The  following  monthly  reports  will  be  made  to  Major  A.  H.  Cole, 
inspector  general  of  field  transportation  at  Richmond,  Va.  They  will

ment, and  the  necessary  additions  to  the  headings  can  be  made  by  the

General  Orders,  No.  44,  June  17,  1862. 

H.  No  persons,  other  than  those  authorized  by  the  Oommnnding 
General  of  an  army,  or  the  commanding  officers  of  diKtricts  under  mar- 
tini law,  shall  be  recognized  as  agents  for  taking  possession  of  private 
property.  These  agents,  before  making  any  impressments,  shall  pre- 
sent their  written  authority,  and  when  they  take  property,  their  rer 
ceipts  phall  designate  the  ottJcer  who  is  to  pay  for  it. 

General  Orders,  No.  50,  July  18,  186-2. 

VI.  Anns  and  munitions  of  war  belonging  to  States,  are  strictly  pro- 
hibited from  being  seized  by  any  Confederate  officer  ;  and  public  arms 
and  supplies  will  not  be  diverted  from  their  legitimate  destination  by 
any  officer  of  the  army. 

General  Orders,  No.  53,  July  31,  1862. 

IV.  All  seizures  and  impressments  of  any  description  of  property 
whatever,  and  especially  of  arms  and  ordnance  stores  belonging  to  the 
States  of  the  Confederacy,  arc  hereby  prohibited  ;  and  officers  of  the  C. 
S.  army  are  enjoined  to  abstain  carefully  from  such  seizures  and  im- 
pressments; and  in  case  they  are  made  by  mistake,  such  otHcers  are 
ordered  to  make  prompt  restitution. 

General  Orders,  No.  5G,  August  6,  1862. 

I.  Military  commanders  have  no  authority  to  suspend  the  writ  of 
habeas  corpus,  nor  doc«  martial  law,  when  declared  by  the  President, 
under  the  act  of  Congress,  justify  the  arbitrary  establishment  of  the 
price  of  commodities  in  the  trade  of  the  citizens  of  the  Confederate 
States. 

II.  Necessity  alone  can  warrant  the  impressment  of  private  property 
for  public  U!*e ;  and  wherever  the  requisite  supplies  can  be  obtained  by 
the  consent  of  the  owners  at  fair  rates,  and  without  hazardous  delay, 
the  military  authorities  will  abstain  from  the  harsh  proceeding  of  im- 
pressment. 

General  Orders,  No.  61,  August  23,  1862. 

III.  Paragraph  IV.,  General  Orders,  No.  63,  current  series,  is  so

All  seizures  and  impressments  of  any  description  of  property  what- 
ever, belongii.g  to  tlie  States  of  the  Confederacy,  are  hereby  prchibitcd, 
and  officers  of  the  C.  S.  army  are  enjoined  to  abstain  carefully  from 
sucli  seizures  and  impressments ;  and  in  cape  they  are  made  by  mis- 
take, jBueh  officers  are  ordered  to  maka  prompt  restitution.

will  furnish  to  such  agents  written  ovidcuco  of  their  authority  to  act ; 


\ 


1^0  IMrilESSMEMS. 

and  agones,  whenever  required  liy  parties  interested,  will  exhibit  the 
orders  or  authority  under  which  they  are  acting. 

2.  Agents  who  make  impressmenta,  in  all  caees,  will  give  to  the 
owner  of  the  property  impressed,  or  his  agent,  a  certificate  stating  the 
character  and  value  thereof;  and  they  will,  moreover,  return  to  the 
officer  of  this  department,  from  whom  they  derive  their  authority,  a 
statement  of  all  property  impressed  by  them,  with  the  names  of  the 
owners.  An  abstract  of  these  statement  will  be  forwarded  to  this 
office  by  the  ofiicer  to  whom  they  are  returiicd. 

3.  Impressments  must  not  be  resorted  to,  except  when  absolutely  de- 
manded by  the  public  necessities;  and  their  burden  must  be  appor- 
tioned among  the  community,  so  far  as  may  be  possible,  equally  and 
impartially,  having  due  regard  co  the  means  and  ability  of  owners  of 
property. 

HOW   COMPENSATION    IS    MADE. 

4.  When  teams  and  other  property,  including  slave  teamsters,  are 
impressed  into  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  the  owners  there- 
of may  be  compensated  by  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  department, 
at  the  usual  rat^s  of  hire. 

5.  When  the  owners  of  any  property  impressed  into  the  public  ser- 
vice, slaves  excepted,  are  willing  to  relinquish  the  same  to  the  govern- 
ment, the  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  department  may  pay  the  fair 
appraised  value  thereof,  and  take  up  the  property  on  their  returns,  to 
be  accounted  for  as  other  public  property. 

6.  When  private  property  has  been  duly  impressed  by  order  of  the 
commanding  officer,  and  it  shall  appear  by  satisfactory  evidence  to  have 
been  expended  in  the  public  service,  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's 
department  may  pay  the  fair  appraised  value  thereof,  although  the 
property  may  not  have  been  regularly  received  and  issued  by  any 
Quartermaster. 

November  5,  1862. 

Note. — The  above  rules  governed  cases  of  impressment  prior  to  Decem- 
ber 26,  1862,  when  the  folio winji  were  announced  by  the  Secretary  of 
War.     Tlie  above,  however,  Jiave  still  some  application.

2.  This  power  may  be  conferred  by  the  Quartermaster  General  upon

ficer, which  sets  forth  the  fact  that  the  soldier  apprehended  is  a  deserter, 
and  that  he  was  delivered  up  by  the  claimant.  Deserters  should  be  de- 
livered, when  practicable,  to  the  nearest  post,  or  to  the  commandant  of 
a  camp  of  instruction.

been  ordered  with  a  detachment  in  pursuit  of  deserters. 

5.  All  otlicers,  in  certifying  to  the  fact  of  desertion,  should  be  careful

sence without  leave.

upon  an  account  certitied  by  the  jailor  or  sheriff  of  the  county ,»in  which

BOUNTY. 


The  act  of  Congress,  approved  September  27,  1802,  authorises  tha 
President  to  suspend  the  execution  of  the  conscription  law,  in  any  lo- 
cality where  ho  may  find  it  impracticable  to  execute  the  same.  By 
General  Orders,  No.  74,  the  same  is  suspended  in  the  States  of  Ken- 
tucky and  Missouri.  Volunteers  are  therefore  received  from  tfcese 
States,  as  was  the  practice  prior  to  the  conscription  acts. 

The  conscription  law  embraces  all  between  the  ages  of  18  and  45 
years;  but  General  Orders,  No.  82,  par.  Ill,  directs  its  execution  at 
present  by  the  enrollment  of  those  only  between  the  ages  of  18  and  40. 
Volunteering  is  therefore  open  to  all  under  18  and  over  40 ;  as  it  is  also 


BOUNTY.  158 

to  those  between  those  ages,  any  time  prior  to  tlieir  enrollment,  when 
entering  companies  in  the  service  prior  to  April  10,  1862. 

These  considerations  make  it  important  to  insert  the  following  memo- 
randa relative  to  bounty,  since  the  conscription  acts  have  not  repealed 
the  act  of  December  11,  l8Gl,  in  respect  to  bounty,  nor  superseded  its 
payment : 

General  Orders,  No.  1,  January  1,  1&"62. 

Sec.  1.  The  Congress  of  the  Confederate  States  of  America  do  enapt, 
That  a  bounty  of  fifty  dollars  be,  and  the  same  is  hereby  granted  to  all 
privates,  musicians  and  non-commissioned  olHcers  in  the  provisional 
army,  who  shall  serve  continuously  for  three  years,  or  for  the  war — to 
be  paid  at  the  following  times,  to  wit:  To  all  now  in  the  service  for 
twelve  months,  to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  volunteering  or  enlisting  for 
the  next  two  ensuing  years  subsequent  to  the  expiration  of  their  pre- 
sent term  of  service.  To  all  now  in  the  service  fur  three  years,  or  for 
the  war,  to  be  paid  at  the  expiration  of  their  first  year's  service.  To 
all  who  may  hereafter  volunteer  or  enlist  for  three  years,  or  for  the  war, 
to  be  paid  at  the  time  of  entry  into  service.     (Act  Dec.  11,  1861.) 

General  Orders,  No.'22,  April  0,  18G2. 

4.  The  accounts  for  the  settlement  of  the  bounty  money  will  be 
handed  in,  or  sent  to  the  Quartermaster  General's  office.  All  balances 
of  this  fund  will  be  turned  over  to  an  officer  of  the  Quartermaster's  de- 
partment. • 

General  Orders,  No.  30,  April  28,  1862. 
Sec.  7.  Be  it  further  enacted,  That  all  soldiers  now  serving  in  the 
army  or  mustered  in  the  military  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  or 
enrolled  in  said  service  under  the  authorizations  heretofore  issued  by 
the  Secretary  of  War,  and  who  are  continued  in  the  service  by  virtue 
of  this  act,  who  have  not  received  the  bounty  of  fifty  dollars  allowed  by 
existing  laws,  shall  be  entitled  to  receive  said  bounty.  (Act  April  iG, 
1862.) 

Note. — By  section  1  of  same  act,  "all  white  men,  residents  of  the  Con- 
federate States,  between  the  ages  of  18  and  35  years,  now  in  the  armies 
of  the  Confederac'y,  whose  term  of  service  will  expire  before  the  end  of 
the  war,  shall  be  continued  in  the  seivice  three  years  from  the  date  of 
tlieir  original  enlistment,  unless  the  war  shall  have  been  sooner  ended." 
These  men  are  entitled  to  bounty;  Ijut  not  those  under  18  and  over  35 
years  of  age,  who  were  required  to  remain  in  service  for  90  days. 

General  Orders,  No.  77,  Octobet  22,  1862. 

III.  Officers  who  have  been  charged  with  the  disbursement  of  bounty 
funds,  will  immediatcdy  render  their  accounts  to  the  Quartermaster 
General ;  otherwise  they  will  be  reported  fur  dismissal,  as  required  by 
law. 

General  Orders,  No.  82,  November  2.  1SG2.

ruary 3,  1862,  No.  378. 

2.  By  act  of  October  ll,  1862,  No.  — ,  the  act  of  December  11, 1861

arises  from  the  constant  pursual  of  a  diflferent  course.  Sick,  disabled

discrepancy  of  signatures  rendering  it  impossible  for  this  department 
to  verify  the  same.

provides,  that  "as  far  as  practicable,  officers  are  todraw  their  pay  from  the 
quartermaster  of  the  district  where  they  may  be  on  duty."  Hereafter, 
no  payment  will  be  made  to  an  officer,  on  separate  pay  account,  by  any 
other  than  the  q.uartermaster  of  the  post  or  regiment  to  which  the  offi- 
cer may  belong,  except  he  be  absent  from  his  station  under  orders,  on 
leave,  or  on  account  of  sickness,  and  then  only  from  the  first  of  the 
month,  during  which  siich  absence  occurs,  to  its  termination,  and  for 
such  subsequent  full  month,  oi:  months,  as  he  may  continue  to  be  de- 
tached from  his  regular  station,  unless  he  furnishes  sstisfactory  evi- 
dence that  payment  could  not  be  made  him  before  leaving.

ment, by  "whom  they  will  be  issued,  so  far  as  may  be  needed,  to  the

where  such  troops  shall  be  already  supplied,  the  articles  will  be  issued 
to  others  who  may  requiro,  them. 

The  act  of  Congress  recentl}'  passed,  of  October  tS,  18G2,  abolishca 
commutation  for  clothing.  Many  of  the  following  rules  have  thereby 
become  obsolete,  except  so  far  as  they  relate  to  transactions  previous  to 
the  date  of  the  act.  They  are  inserted  as  illustrating  accounts  yet  to 
bo  settled,  and  for  the  convenience  of  reference.  Sections  13  and  14 
are  still  applicable. 

1.  When  clothing  commutation  money  has  not  been  drawn,  clothing 
in  kind  is  issued  to  troops,  in  quantities  fixed  by  the  Regulations,  regard- 
loss  of  its  cost,  and  they  are  never  charged  with  any  excess  in  tho 
ralue  thereof  over  the  money  allowance.  When,  in  cases  of  necessity, 
articles  of  clothing  have  to  be  issued  after  commutation  has  been  re- 
ceived, or  in  excess  of  the  regular  allowance,  the  value  thereof,  ascer- 
tained from  the  invoice,  will  be  entered  as  a  stoppage. 

2.  Paragraph  No.  70  of  the  Kegulations  fixes  the  clothing  allow- 
ance. 

3.  When  any  State  furnishes  its  troops  in  the  Confederate  sprvice 
with  clothing,  according  to  the'  Fiegulations,  payment  therefor  will  be 
jnad'e,  under  special  instructions,  at  the  commutation  rate  of  $25  for 
every  six  months,  on  receipts  produced  by  the  State,  signed  by  tho 
commanding  ofiicer(*f  the  regiment,  battalion  or  independent  company, 
as  the  case  may  be,  certifying  the  number  of  men  actually  furnished 
by  the  State.  (Act  No.  256.  Circular  Secretary  of  War,  Oct.  10. 
1861.) 

4.  Commanders  of  companies  may  draw  commutation  of  clothing,  at 
the  rate  of  $  25  per  man  for  every  six  months'  scrvic^",  when  they  shall 
have  furnished  their  own  clothing.  Quartermasters  on  duty  with  regi- 
ments or  brigades,  can  pay  the  same,  on  tho  production  of  duplicate 
rolls,  feigned  by  each  man,  acknowledging  tho  receipt  by  him  <  f  bis 
clothing  for  the  period  of  six  niontho,  and  certified  by  the  commander

to  be  correct.  ^  These  rolls,  with  the  commander's  receipt  thereon  for 
the  amount  paid,  will  be  the  quartermaster's  voucher. 

5.  When  any  State,  or  the  eomniander  of  any  company,  shall  fur- 
nish to  the  volunteers  in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States  a  por- 
tion only  of  the  clothing  allowed  by  the  Regulations,  payment  for  the 
same  will  be  made  on  like  receipts  as  above  mentioned,  on  the  follow- 
ing basis,  viz  :  a  calculation  will  be  made  of  the  sum  necessary  to  s'up- 
ply  the  articles  deficient,  at  the  rates  established  by  the  Quartermas- 
ter's bureau.  This  sum  will  be  deducted  from  the  commutation  money, 
and  the  remainder  will  be  paid  to  the  State  or  commander,  as  the 
money  value  of  the  portion  furnished. 

6.  When   troops  have  been  supplied  with  clothing  by  their  State, 
mth  a  view  to  entering  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  quarter^ 
Tiasters  will  be  careful  not  to  pay  said  troops  the  commutation  allow- 
ance for  the  first  six  months. 

/.  To  volunteers  who  have  enlisted  for  12  months  or  more,  and  who 
have  not  received  clothing,  commutation  is  allowed  at  the  rate  of  §25 
f  >r  each  six  months'  service.  Regular  soldiers,  and  volunte'ers  for  a 
shorter  period  than  12  mouths,  and  the  militia,  are  not  entitled  to  com- 
mutation of  clothing. 

8.  Commutation  of  clothing  is  payable  on  the  rolls  at  the  first  mus- 
ter and  payment  occurring  after  the  entry  of  troops  into  the  service  of 
the  C.  S.,  and  at  a  corresponding  time,  for  the  second  or  any  subse- 
quent period  of  six  months'  service. 

9.  A  \olunteer,  discharged  after  the  commencement  of  his  second  or 
any  su  equent  period  of  six  months'  service,  and  before  the  date  of 
the  firs  muster  and  pay  roll  therein,  is  entitled  to  the  commutation 
allowa  e  for  clothing,  if  he  shall,  have  furnished  his  own  clothing, 
the  pay  ent  to  be  nuade  at  the  date  of  the  first  muster  and  pay  roll. 
The  c  r  ificate  of  discharge  should  state  distinctly  whether  the  soldier 
has  o    i  as  not  furnished  his  own  clothing. 

10.  Volunteers,  discharged  at  any  time  during  the- first  term  of  six 
months'  service,  or  after  the  date  of  the  first  muster  and  pay  roll,  in 
the  second  or  any  subsequent  period  of  six  months' service,  are  en- 
titled to  receive  commutation  of  clothing  not  drawn. 

11.  When  some  companies  of  a  regiment,  or  some  individuals  of  a 
company,  have  been  mustered  in  at  a  later  period  than  the  others,  so 
that  they  serve  at  the  close  for  a  fractional  part  only  of  six  months, 
they  will  receive  therefor  but  a  proportion  of  the  commutation  of 
clothing,  estimating  the  same  by  the  month,  and  reckoning  any  odd 
days  of  15  or  over  in  number  as  a  month,  and  any  under  15,  not  at  all. 

12.  A  proportionate  allowance  of  commutation  of  clothing  is  paya- 
ble to  men  under  18  and  over  35  years  of  age,  who  were  continued  in 
service  90  days  by  the  conscription  act. 

13.  When  troops  are  accepted,  as  for  local  defence,  for  a  less  period 
than  one  year,  they  are  entitled  to  receive  a  ratable  proportion  of  the 
money  value  of  a  yearly  allowance  of  clothing. 

14.  As  commut'Xtion  of  clothing  has  been  abolished,  a  State  that  fur- 
nishes its  troops  can  no  longer  be  reimbursed  through  that  fund. 
Clothing,  however,  furnished  by  any  State,  when  of  proper  quality, 
will  be  paid  for  by  this  department,  after  inspection,  at  the  rates  es- 
tablished by  the  War  department,  in  General  Orders,  No-  100.    If  it

CONFEDERATE  TROOPS. 

Treasury  Department,  Comptrollei^ s  Office,  Od.  24,  1862. 

1.  Whenever  property  has  been  taken  and  used  by  the  troops,  as

commissioned  officer  in  command),  as  shown  by  his  signature;  or  in 
case  of  a  general,  by  that  of  his  adjutant,  or  that  of  a  quartermaster, 
commissary,  or  other  authorized  officer;  or  when  an  appraisement  made 
of  such  property  is  approved  by  such  officer,  a  fair  and  just  compensa-

excessive),  or  according  to  the  approval  (when  not  appraised),  under 
the  head  of  supplies  for  the  army. 

2.  When  property  has  been  &imply  destroyed,  it  is  to  be  regarded  as 
a  claim  for  damages,  which  should  be  presented  to  Congress  for  allow- 
ance (as  there  is  no  law  nor  appropriation  for  such  damages).  In  such 
cases  of  property  destroyed  (whether  by  order  of  an  officer  or  not),  or 
where  no  law  provides  for  the  proper  payment  thereof,  the  claims  and 
testimony  should  be  presented  to  the  Attorney  General,  to  be  by  him

4.  Where  any  building  has  been  used  for  a  hospital,  it  is  proper  that 
injuries  to  the  building,  whilst  so  used,  should  be  paid  for  on  such 
appraisement,  approved  by  the  surgeon  in  charge. 

5.  In  case  the  approval  of  a  commanding  officer  or  other  authorized 
officer  cannot  be  obtained  for  such  supplies,  such  claims  should  be 
presented  to  Congress,  or  to  some  examining  officer  who  may  be  ap- 
pointed by  the  Secretary  of  War.

the  market  price  for  ordinary  firewood. 

6.  Where  a  growing  crop  has  been  consumed,  the  same  may  be  paid 
for,  although  the  crop  in  character  does  not  come  within  the  forage  al- 
lowance prescribed  by  the  Array  Regulations.

to  public  use,  may  be  paid  for.  The  account  therefor,  supported  by 
the  sworn  appraisement  of  two  or  more  disinterested  persons,  and  ap- 
approved  by  the  surgeon  or  other  oflBcer  in  charge  thereof,  shall  be  a 
good  voucher  for  payment.

has  been  placed  to  their  credit.  It  will  then  be  subject  to  their  draft, 
or  it  will  be  sent,  -when  desired,  to  the  officer  by  express,  at  the  cost  and 
risk  of  the  Government.  In  the  latter  case,  the  officer's  check  should 
always  be  forwarded. 

2.  Estimates  for  funds  and  requisitions  for  supplies  will  be  transmit- 
ted through  the  principal  quartermaster  of  an  army,  by  whom  they  will 
be  consolidated. 

3.  Neither  requisitions  nor  estimates  will  ever  be  embodied  in  a  let- 
ter, but  will  be  enclosed  therein  in  the  form  prescribed  by  the  Regula- 
tions ;  and  each  will  bo  distinct  from  the  other,  so  as  to  admit  of  proper 
reference.  For  the  like  reason,  communications  on  the  Pay  Branch 
will  be  distinct  from  those  that  relate  to  the  affairs  of  the  department  in 
general.

BLANKS,    STATIONERY,   ETC. 

4.  Blank  forms  furnished  by  this  depftrtment,  may  be  obtained  by 
requisitions  made  directly  on  the  office  of  Lieut.  Col.  L.  Smith,  AvSsis- 
tant  Quartermaster  General,  in  charge  of  the  depot  of  supplies  at  llich- 
mond.  Stationery  may  be  procured  in  like  manner,  or  by  purchase, 
■when  circumstances  allow.'  Copies  of  the  Regulations  of  this  depart- 
ment will  be  furnished  :iy  this  office  to  nil  quartermasters  entering  on 
the  discharge  of  their  duties,  and  when  the  same  are  republished  with 
additions.  Every  officer  will  acknowledge  by  letter  the  receipt  of  the 
within  Regulations,  and  those  hereafter  issued  ;  and  the  same  will  be 
preserved  and  accounted  for  as  public  property. 

5.  Blank  muster  and  pay  rolls  are  furnished  by  the  Adjutant  and 
inspector  General's  department — not  by  the  Quartermaster's  depart- 
ment. They  are  sent  in  bulk  to  the  headquarters  of  each  army,  and 
thence  distributed  through  divisions,  brigades,  &c.,  to  company  and 
paying  officers. 

6.  All  communications  to  this  office  will  be  marked,  on  the  outside, 
*' Official  Business." 

7.  Oflleers  of  this  department  will  be  careful  to  send  telegrams  only 
in  cases  of  necessity,  and  when  the  business  is  important.  When  this 
privilege  is  abused,  the  cost  of  the  message  will  be  charged  to  the 
oflBcer. 

8.  The  chief  quartermasters  of  each  army  will  forward  to  this  ofBce 
copies  of  all  circulars  and  of  all  printed  orders  or  instruction^  and  of 
all  written  orders  of  unusual  importance,  issued  by  them. 

9.  All  officers  of  this  department,  who  receive  from  the  treasury  and 
pay  out  interest  bearing  (7.30)  treasury  notes,  will  write  or  stamp  on 
the  back  thereof  the  date  on  which  they  are  paid  out  by  them. 

10.  Officers  of  this  department  are  authorized  to  receive  all  military 
supplies  subscribed  under  the  produce  loan  act,  that  can  be  issued  ac- 
co^^ing  to  the  Army  Regulations,  and  that  may  be  needed  by  the  com- 
mands to  which  they  are  attached.  They  will  pay  therefor  in  Confede- 
rate bonds,  with  interest  from  the  date  of  the  delivery,  and  will  notify 
the  commissioner  of  the  loan  at  Richmond,  of  the  receipt  of  the  sup- 
plies, stating  their  character,  amount,  value,  and  by  whom  delivered. 
Officers  will  be  careful  also  to  take  up  on  their  property  returns  and 
account  for  supplies  thus  received,  as  they  would  those  obtained  by  or- 
dinary purchase.  '^ 

11.  All  quartermasters  and  assistant  quartermasters  are  appointed 
through  the  War  depajrtment.  None  are  mustered  in  from  State  ser- 
vice. State  officers,  therefore,  will  never  be  recognised  in  the  transfer 
of  public  ftfnds  or  other  property  ;  nor  will  transfers  thereof  be  made 
to  officers  duly  appointed  in  the  Confederate  States  service,  until  their 
official  bonds  have  been  filed  in  and  approved  by  the  "War  department. 

12.  In  cases  of  urgent  necessity^  quartermasters'  funds  and  pay 
funds  may  be  used  for  either  branch  of  the  service.  They  should,  how- 
ever, as  fur  as  possible,  be  expended  and  accounted  for  as  remitted. 
Bounty  funds  must  be  accounted  for  strictly  as  such,  the  appropriation 
being  distinct  in  its  character. 

13.  All  quartermaeters  and  regimental  officera  will  apply,  in  the  first 
instance,  as  far  as  may  be  practicable,  to  the  chief  quartermaster  of  the 


MiSCELLAiNEOU^.  .  l8l 

command  to  which  they  may  be  attached,  for  information  respecting 
the  affairs  of  this  department.  This  course  will  save  time  and  unne- 
cessary correspondence. 

14.  All  public  animals,  so  reduced  ^  to  be  unfit  for  service,  will  be 
restored,  where  it  is  possible.^by  rest  and  pasturage.  Only  when  they 
are  past  recovery  with  care,  will  steps  betaken  to  effect  a  sale;  and 
then  the  course  prescribed  in  the  Regulations,  pages  98  and  99,  will 
be  adhered  to  strictly. 

15.  Clothing  or  other  quartermasters'  supplies  will  not  be  issued  to  em- 
ployees from  civil  life,  except  as  hereinafter  allowed  in  the  ca.'^e  of 
teamsters. 

16.  OflBcers  will  not  be  allowed  to  purchase  from  this  department 
any  article  of  clothing,  or  material  therefor,  suitable  for  issue  to  the 
privates,  unless  there  be  an  excess. 

17.  The  maximum  prices  to  be  paid  for  teamsters,  by  contract  or 
impressment,  shall  be  at  the  rate  of  ig25  per  month — rations  furnished 
by  the  government.  When  the  hiring  or  impresf^ment  is  for  tiie  year, 
the  price  shall  not  exceed  !?240 — rations  and  clothing  to  be  furnished 
by  the  government. 

18.  Quartermasters  are  prohibited,  by  the  act  of  February  15,  1862, 
No.  399,  from  employing  clerks  from  civil  life.  Those  employed  prior 
to  that  date,  under  the  sanction  of  this  oftice,  can  be  retained  so  long  aa 
they  may  be  necessary ;  but  all  clerical  force  thereafter  needed  must 
be  procured  by  details  made  from  the  ranks  by  the  commanding  officer. 

19.  The  act  of  May  21,  18G1,  No.  181,  section  1,  devolves  on  tho 
Quartermaster  General  and  his  subordinates  the  duty  of  providing  for 
the  safe  custody  and  sustenance  of  prisoners  of  war.  The  rations  fur- 
nished to  them  are  purchased  by  tho  quartermaster,  and  will  be  tho 
same  in  quantity  and  quality  as  those  received  by  enlisted  men  in  tho 
army  of  the  Confederate  States. 

20.  Officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  department  will  give  accounts, 
certified,  to  be  paid  by  other  officers,  only  in  cases  of  nectesbity.  They 
will  always  give  them  rather  than  informal  memoranda,  which  pro- 
duce trouble  both  for  the  claimants  and  this  office.  Otiieers  will  ob- 
serve this  rule  strictly,  and  they  will  b^  held  to  accountability  for  any 
departure  therefrOm. 

31.  Detachments  may  be  provided  with  forage  in  the  following  man- 
ner:  The  quartermaster  will  provide  the  officer  in  charge  with  blank 
requisitions  and  Form  No.  12.  These  will  be  left  by  the  officer,  after 
being  filled  up,  with  the  individual  from  whom  he  procures  fi)rage,  wiio 
in  his  turn  will  receipt  No.  12,  and  forward  these  papers,  or  present 
them  in  person  to  the  quartermaster.  In  this  way  the  quartermaster'a 
money  and  property  responsil)ility  will  both  be  met. 

22.  Tho  act  of  May  18,  1802,  section  3,  pro\ides,  "thnt  in  case  of 
deficiency,  on  final  settlement,  of  any  article  of  supplies,  tho  value 
thereof  shall  be  charged  against  the  delinquent,  and  deducted  ir^im  his 
monthly  pay,  unless  he  shall  show,  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  Secretary 
of  War,  by  one  or  more  depositions,  setting  forth  the  circumstances  of 
the  case,  that  the  said  deficiency  was  occasioned  by  unavoidable  acci- 
dent, or  was  lost  in  actual  service,  without  any  fault  on  his  part:  and 
in  case  of  damage,  he  shall  also  be  subject  to  charge  for  the  damage  ac- 
tually eustained,  unless  be  shall  ehow,  in  like  manner,  to   the  caiipfaxc- 


182  MISCELLANEOUS. 

tion  of  the  Secretftry  of  "War,  that  duo  care  and  attention  wore  gWon 
to  the  preservation  of  said  supplies,  and  that  the  damage  did  not  result 
from  neglect."  (See  sections  177  and  182,  and  Forms  No.  42  and  43, 
Kegulations.) 

23.  As  the  appropriation  for  army  contingencies  is  no  longer  distinct 
in  its  character,  there  is  no  occasion  to  use  a  separate  account  current 
and  abstract  therefor.  (See  Section  95,  and  Forms  Nos.  48  and  49  ; 
also  Nos.  10  and  11.) 

24.  All  quartermaster's  stores,  including  clothing,  and  camp  and 
garrison  equipage,  may  be  accounted  for  by  officers  of  this  department, 
on  Form  No.  23.     (See  Form  No.  52.). 

25.  ,  in  making  the  appointment  of  quartermasters  and'  assistant 
quartermasters,  the  recommendation  of  the  commanding  officer  of  the 
brigade  or  regiment  is  respected.  The  same  is  true  in  respect  to  a  bat- 
talion ;  but  that  organization  in  allowed  only  one  assistant  quartermas- 
ter or  coramissnrv.
